BASSETERRE, St. Kitts (Wednesday 16th March 2022) — Deputy Prime Minister Shawn Richards of the People’s Action Movement (PAM) and Premier Mark Brantley of the Concerned Citizens Movement (CCM) have publicly indicated that they will not support Dr. Timothy Harris of the People’s Labour Party (PLP) for a third term as Prime Minister within the three-party coalition government. Speaking at PAM’s convention held on Sunday 13th March 2022 at St. Mary’s Park in Cayon under the theme ‘Keeping The Promise,’ Brantley stated that Team Unity had agreed “no leader would serve more than two terms as prime minister.”
“PAM and CCM could have formed a government without PLP,” Brantley said, noting that he had described PAM as the “rock upon which Team Unity now stands.” Richards followed with: “And not no third Timothy cause I ain’t see no third Timothy in de Bible!”
When quizzed at PLP’s press conference on Wednesday 16th March about third-term running, PM Harris said: “I don’t even know why this is even part of the conversation. Elections are not due until 2025. I have never spoken on a third term. There is no record anywhere about Timothy Harris speaking on a third term. Every person involved in decision making ought to be focused on one thing at this point in time — the future of our people; keeping them safe, keeping them strong, putting the country back to work again.”
